EASY Chicken Tamales Recipe | How To Make Tamales

[@theresawerner1406]

Thank you so much!!!! I finally did it!!! I am 61 and made my first ever tamales...I was so proud!!! You are such a joy and inspiration to me!!! I live with Mom after Dad died and use your recipes....she always compliments my cooking...love you from Texas!

[@therapizza]

I never really got to learn anything from my grandmother, so I feel like I'm getting to learn the skills and traditions from someone else's. I'm so grateful for you! I'm just some silly white girl, but I married a Mexican and I love cooking from their culture and sharing it with them (doesn't hurt to impress the mother-in-law while I'm at it)

[@RayRaySoShy]

Omg those tamales look fire. You made this recipe look so easy. My mom use to make them until she passed away. But now it's my turn to make them because I miss my Mommy's home made tamales. I needed an easy recipe for this because it will be my first time making them. Thank you for your recipe 💙

[@debbiebarnes4688]

I used your recipe to make a small batch of pork tamales and steamed them in the Instant Pot. They were amazing for my first try! Thank you!

[@pamcakemix]

whoa wait! Instant pot?? how long do you cook it for?

Whats better than a Simply Mama enchilada video? A tamale video, thats what!!

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

31 May 2024 @SimplyMamaCooks As you know, I cooked a small batch of this recipe last weekend. Had to complete all the little steps slowly over 2 1/2 days because I don’t have any family members to help and can’t stand on my feet too many hours due to being a viejita. I must emphasize that the flavor profile in the chili puree is the absolute best. Reserving enough if that puree and mixing it with the masa makes the masa almost stand on its’ own for flavor. It’s so good, it makes a person feel like smashing every tiny masa crumb on the emptying dinner plate, with the back of a fork, together to continue savor every “drop and crumb” of the luscious tamales. You are such a great home chef and virtual culinary instructor, over the past 7+ years, you really changed my life in the kitchen. For all that, I’m forever grateful. Ojalá que toda esta muy bien de usted y su familia. Puede la paz del Señor que vaya con toda de su familia para siempre. 😎♥️🙏🏼💃🏼

[@normalopez2856]

By far THE EASIEST tamale video I have ever seen! Thank you

[@ibchili]

Wow, I love your teaching style! You take your time and explain everything, yet your editing skills are great too. You only make us watch what is necessary, without extra fluff and jawing. Thank you for an excellent recipe and demonstration!

[@watchingfromcali]

Yum! You are the best Angelica. Just in time for Christmas Tamales. I’ll be making these for sure.

[@Why-Because-I-Said-So]

I bought your cookbook and I was just looking at this recipe. My neighbor used to make them for Christmas and would make some for us but we just got stationed at new place and now I’m gonna give it a try and watching you make them makes me think I can make them…who knows I may just make some for my hubbies new command 😬

[@ninfabrown2757]

Yeah!!! I love your videos and your candid honesty. My Mom would be cheering you on all the way. She was a hard worker and an excellent cook. But she worked way too hard with great discipline. She wanted women to enjoy more and work less. She believed you would still put all your Love into it you just did not need to drain yourself all at once I wished she had learned this younger I might have had her here past age 63. I miss her smart & loving advice every day! It is women like You that will help us to live a longer life. Which is the goal for us & our families!!! I love your smart short cuts they are not lazy…. They save time & lives lol!!!!

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

My FAVORITE Mexican food!!! They bring back memories of visiting family in Indiana, back in the late 50's. You could get them from a bicycle cart. Wonderful..Thanks you for the recipe. I would make the beef ones for my late husband. I have kidney disease and don't eat beef anymore. This is PERFECT❤❤❤

[@virginiaphillips5217]

Thank you so much. I have always been a bit intimidated when making tamales because I come from a long line of experienced Mexican women in my family that made them...with ease. I have been making them on my own for 10 years but I learned something from you today and I am very grateful. Will be making mine for Christmas ❤

[@loripretti843]

I hope you have time to share the sweet tamales that my good friend in Utah use to make me every Christmas!!! I would love to make them in honor of her!!! She passed away several years ago!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us!!! I love chicken tamales!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@donnypark4385]

I would eat that whole baking sheet of tamales that's how much I love them!!! I subscribed 2 days ago and am very grateful and happy to watch and learn from you!!! Thank You!!!!

[@watson6815]

Wow! This is the best tamale making video ever. Years ago, I learned to make tamales from my friend's "aunties". I made them several times right after, but haven't made them in quite awhile so I was looking for a refresher. This was almost exactly how I learned to make them, chile liquid and all. Thank you so much for your clear, detailed instructions and excellent demonstrations. Your book sounds great, too, so will give that a try, too! You are a fine teacher!

[@deborahochoa575]

Thank you for your simple step-by-step tamale 🫔 recipe & instructions! I appreciate your calm & soothing way you teach! I’m a huge fan of yours from Southern California 😊

[@MarLindaPerez-s1i]

I'm 60 and am looking to make my own yummy stuff for my freezer. Never attempted this buy I'm ready now. Thank you, I'll let you know.🤩

[@beezelbuzzel]

Thank you for this! I've always been so scared of making tamales but I love them! This doesn't seem too complicated.

[@charlottependerstaph6683]

I LOVE watching your videos, you cook like my mama and grandma…and, I love to listen to your son’s piano practice! He’s amazing! ❤️

[@raysville7256]

Extremely easy to follow. We have several hands helping in the construction of the tamal, I like to spread the masa with an asian bamboo rice paddle. Gracias!

[@PraiseYahAlways7]

You are a wonderful teacher. I was intimidated until watching your instructions. Thank you! And I subscribed bc I love your practicality!!!

[@buggsbunny7134]

Thank you for being so detailed on your videos, and your voice is so soothing lol. It’s like you’re actually in the kitchen with me, I even respond like oh okay 😂

Super delicious 😋 thanks for sharing 😋 have a great day everybody 😘🙏🤗

[@AndyDavis-j9p]

Hey there simply mama....I wanted to thank you...I made this recipe and followed it to a T except I used thigh meat and for some reason don't ask me why I threw a full pinch of sugar in the masa....anyway it came out great and I have to say you totally helped me in my confidence in making tamales. Thank you!

[@zangmaster]

I make tamale every year during Christmas. I would defiantly recommend using lard. I mean they will still be delicious otherwise, but just not as delicious lol. The best leftovers too because you can just throw them into the microwave from frozen with a small sprinkle of kosher salt. I'd also recommend pan frying one so good!

[@reneef7648]

Your An Amazing Cook...I just found your recipe channel today and I'm addicted!

[@thes3xcichef]

I love making Tamales and I use the float method

[@kimberlee3243]

I have never had tamales, I’d love to try and make them. I need to open your cookbook and get the ingredients!

[@mikhaelarenee]

Owwww. I have to try these. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@mariapaniagua4343]

Thank you Angelica for showing your ways of making tamales, they look delicious and easy to make.❤😊😋

[@1969MARKETING]

the best tamales i've ever had was a friends mom who made homemade pork tamales from the pigs head, jaw, etc they raised on a farm. they made everything from scratch. still haven't found anything close. this looks pretty close to how they made them. i agree though. chicken thighs are so much juicier and easier to cook with than chicken breast.

[@chelziford141]

This is so amazing :) i will be learning this recipe really soon

[@cariharper3657]

Omg!!! These look amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Tamale hut on Strawberry road, in Pasadena.😊 my fav.

[@Stephenrsm7600]

Angela, I LOVE tamales!!! You make the fixing them so easy I think I will try this myself!!! Thank you SO much!!! I looked in your, or what I thought was your, sale area on line. I bought your cook book, but I really want another one!! I also got your ingredients to make Enchilada sauce and Spanish red rice. I did not see these there. Are you not offering these any more????

[@MN-hv5xv]

Looks delish! And I feel you on using darker meat for tamales but these look divine!! BTW I have the same shirt your husband has only it’s Garfield on the shirt 😅😊

[@unamujer4545]

😭 Those look amazing!

[@Carmencita63]

Hello! Love this channel! Do you have any advice on how to keep the water in the pot? Sometimes I put a coin on the bottom of the kettle but it's easy to miss when the music is playing!

[@crisibaksh1907]

Hi Thanks for sharing Could I use butter instead of lard.

[@danielkaiser8971]

Sooooo goooood!

[@Ainun_Story]

I saw my friend posted her tamale 🫔. And I really wanna try it, until I find out it has pork. As a Muslim I can't eat pork so I was looking for recipe without pork until I found u with a chicken. Thank u for sharing this recipe, I really appreciate ❤❤❤❤

[@cathymarquez2466]

So good yum 👍😋

Thank you, Angelica! 🧡

How do you clean the peppers please?

You are the best!!

[@hib32]

Very nice, thanks. You have a beautiful voice.

[@sassy3175]

Hello...love all of your recipes 😋. Question do they sell powder form of the dried chilis that are used in tamales and birria meat 🤔?

[@sassy3175]

Found them...

[@miriammaldonado7848]

Oh no! I've to watch it again... I had a cap of coffee on my hand half way done I fell asleep lol

[@AlexeiMcGalliard]

Could we get a tutorial for vegetarian tamales?

[@bonniemciver275]

You're the best.❤

[@plhartley]

Great! I have your book and I will use the dark meat too. Have you made a cheese and chili only (like an anaheim or pablano)? I had them once in AZ and would love to see them made. I imagine I would make it basically the same?

[@lolajoetrixie7792]

Using a tortilla fresh instead of with your hands it's a lot quicker like 60 to 70% easier and faster I'm glad to see you got a Vitamix

[@angiewarren6045]

How do you add water during the cooking process? Will it mess with the tamales if you pour water onto them? They look yummy!

[@cherylerome-beatty4677]

Hola. Thank you for this video. I live in Spain. Do you know what a good substitute for guajillo Chile's might be? My grocery store carries some canned Mexican goods abd I don't know if there is a similar Chile in the produce area.

[@thes3xcichef]

Are there other types of steamers to use besides the pan in the video?

[@thegirlnxdoor]

Looks yummy 😋

[@evamendenhall6126]

Delicious 😋

[@veevee111]

Gracias, mija ❤

[@julesdiner8133]

Ohhhhh my word.

[@Just-Nikki]

I mill my own corn for polenta and grits. I wonder if it would work for tamales? I may do a very small trial amount this weekend when I make tamales. I’m thinking I will tie them up differently for identification purposes. It can’t hurt to try making a few right 😅

[@livingwithcline]

Thank you!
